From what I know about talk show host, Adam Carolla he seems to have a very small government view on politics. From the little I have heard from him speak, I pick-up that he is in favor of lower taxes and systems such as the flat tax. Some people may even loosely call him a conservative. This left me in utter surprise when I saw him being interviewed on the Tonight Show on Wednesday, January 6th, 2009. Jay Leno was hosting his show with two guests Adam Carolla and singer/actress Queen Latifah. Leno asked Carolla some basic questions like, "Are you looking forward to the New Year?" Carolla then responded in saying that he was angry because the new year didn't fit the stereo types that all of the futuristic movies portray. Carolla said, "Everyone wore jump suits, there was no denim there was no fat people, it was awesome!"

It didn't take long for the awkwardness to register in Carolla's mind. After all, he had just basically said in more or less words, 'I am angry that the future has fat people when in my fantasy future, fat people don't exist.' whilst sitting within spitting distance of Queen Latifah who just so happens to be fat! Now I do not honestly believe that Carolla had any intention of offending anyone maliciously, and I don't think he actually harvests any thoughts of hatred towards overweight people, but for fear of coming off that way, he immediately turned to Latifah who was already demanding a recall. Carolla said in a politically correct accent, "No, no, no, no you're, you're, you're... full-figured! You're yeah a, a, a mocha grande latte..." Hold on - what does that even mean? What theme could anyone try to convey by calling someone a 'mocha grande latte'? That makes no since. My point here is not to figure out how calling someone a liberal coffee drink is a compliment. That's neither here nor there, What this all comes down to is Adam Carolla labeled Queen Latifah "full-figured" because he was afraid to call her fat (as if fat was an insult!). I hear people use this kind of politically correct rhetoric all the time, stocky, husky, big-boned, and of course my all time favorite, fluffy. What these people fail to realize is these words are all synonyms for FAT! I have to go with what comedian Brad Stine has to say regarding this topic, "I'm not a Liberal, I don't believe a country is better when you can't say someone is fat. I'm a Conservative, I believe a country is better when you don't think fat is less attractive than thin. That's what I believe in. When you appreciate every type of body because that's the way we were made! If you're fat, you're fat, that's all I'm saying. You should feel proud. I don't care how many vertical stripes your wearing, we can tell! You see, you have two choices when someone calls you what you are, you can let it destroy you or you can let it drive you!"

So the moral of today's lesson is that there is a difference between maliciously offending someone and somebody being offended by truth, and if you are offended by truth, that's your problem not society's! So don't expect the politically correct police to be sensitive to your feelings. This is not a matter of sensitivity, it is a matter of censorship, and censorship I disagree with!
